'i he 3,540 were recorded simultaneously by two stations about 22 miles apart. The double observations made It posslide to estimate their heights. The calculations ?required about I wo years.

I he high "tide" in the atmosphere ii summer was deduced from the fact hat meteors burned at higher altiudes in hummer. The average exess height of summer meteors was ibout two miles. "These figures," Dr^Oplk says. Suggest an annual fluctuation of the might of the atmsphere, more or less orresponding to the annual temperaure curve."

Stately City Park was the scene of feverish activity as folks from the hills and fields alternated between keeping time to the blaring high school band and scratching of fleas. "Pot-likker dog class," yelled Ray Hall to inaugurate the mornings' judging. The proceedings were interrupted momentarily as a man from Rolling Green, Va., cried out that his entry had ducked its collar. "She never had one on before," he explained. Another interruption occurred about high noon, when the judges could locate no class for a strange-I looking animal entered as a female rabbit ami tree dog. While the i rowd tailed for a further look at the 300-odd dogs, the ofliciuls shoved the entry into the female coon dog group. Tills pleased all present but the female rabbit and tree dog, which immediately chased her closer competitor. Kvetit ually, Joseph Uotella, who siiid he was a school teacher and lived six miles outside Richmond, won lirst. prize with his professional entry,; a stately lCnglish setter. The Fredericksburg dog mart dates back to 1 GPS, when early settlers devised it us a means of sharp trading with tin- Indians. Many a Colonial extracted gold nuggets. furs and other valuables from the urn-impeding Indians, who believed the white man's dog had it all over in it w df.sh mongrels.

SPANISH SUMMER RESORT 18 IN MIDST OF HARD FIGHTING, Castle# Jn Spain cannot re*i#t air | ral?l?, It seems, even In the enchanted | atmosphere of a fashionable summer j resort In Han Sebastian, the lerfroi-1 ty of sun drenched swimming and . siestas has been disturbed by sharp j battle and capture by belligerent r<b- j els. Spain's most fashionable summer 1 resort, San Sebaatlana, has provided some excitement not advertised In ho tel publicity a share In the country# j revolt, says a bulletin from the Washington, J>, headquarters of the Na j tlonal Geographic Society. "Vacationists had almost forgotten the city's Importance as capital of the ancient Basque Province of Gulpuzco and slimmer headquarters of most of the diplomatic corps. The foiled States Ambassador has been living there tempo rarity, and several other Americans. A graceful scallop of beach, constant cooling breezes from the Bay of Biscay, regattas, yacht racing, tennis tournaments, horse racing, hull fights, roulette, and formerly royal patronage made Han Sebastian the Newoprt of Spain. Wealthy Spaniards from sections, diplomats, and foreigners,! however few In the city's 60,000 peo- j pie, have given San Sebastian a Euro-? peau veneer over its native aspect. I In the midst of the summer frivolities of Spain's fashionable world, local Basques impassively continue their fishing, speaking their strange language unintelligible even to many Spanish victors. Their name for their city is Iruchulo. The city stands near the eastern end of Spain's northern coast, ten miles from the French border where r.? the numerous visitors change trains on the overnight trip from Paris. Here the Pyrenees meet the sea, and both unite to create unique qualifications for a summer resort. The Bay of Biscay rolls Into San Sebastian's -semi-circular harbor in a half* moon of blue-green, the same regular curve repeated in the beach's yellow crescent. Because Its shape resembles the scallop shell's, the harbor is called I-a Concha (the shell). At the opposite ends of Its mile diameter rise rocky headlands which have offered for centuries protection against naval assaults. The western bluff supports a new lighthouse beside the abandoned one, now an observation tower. On the eastern mountain stands a substantial Spanish castle, less associated with dreams than with nightmares of siege. A wide promenade along the beach, polka-dotted with parasols and bright bathing suits, is shaded by moss-colored tamarisk trees. Their feathery foliage meets overhead, forming a tunnel of shade populous with Basque nurse-maids and their small charges. A row of pretentious hotels and restaurants faces the promenade, where languid vacationists sip thick chocolate and munch crisp sugary rolls. Balustrades, building facades, even lamp posts are voluptuously plump and florid. The main park Is extravagantly gay with formal flower beds, palm trees, and rich green shrubbery. Basques have bestowed upon it the name of Alderdi-Elder, the "beautiful place." The city is studded with elaborate statues?a tall column topped by Victory in her chariot, a huge animated ! group in marble commemorating Y.ubieta. defender of the city during the r.?i:*> siege by the English dislodging Napoleon, a statue of Marie Cristlna, queen who promoted the resort's popularity by bringing her infant son. later Alfonso XIII.

Doctor Was Ready When Snake Struck Dr. F. M. Boldridge, prominent Charlotte physician and aviation enthusiast, has been carrying a snake bite first aid kit around with him for years. The doctor is a great sportsman, files his own plane, has a cabip on Catawba river and a boat, and does a lot of tramping about in the woods. He figured a snake might bite him some day and he kept the kit in his car. But it seemed a rather useless thing, for snakes seemed to stay out of his path. Until Monday, he was putting up his boat for the winter, and was fumbling with it back in the corner of the boathouse when he happened to see a water-moccasin at his feet, coiled and ready to spring. The doctor couldn't run; he was in close quarters. He made a stab at the snake with his foot in the hope he could crush its head, but he missed and struck the snake's tail. The reptile struck, and he felt the fangs penetrate his leg half way between the ankle and the knee. Dr. Boldridge smashed the snake's head with his foot, and raced outside to his car, grabbed his kit and started to work. With a little sharp awl-like instrument he reamed out the hole made by the snake's fangs, applied potassium permanganate, and then began sucking out the greenish poison and blood with the small suction pump in his kit. Yesterday he was walking around with one leg about twice its normal size, but otherwise he was feeling quite fit. "It was pretty lucky I had that kit along," he admitted. "I guess I pumped a half-ounce of that greenish poison and bloody stuff out of my leg. If I hadn't brought that kit along I expect ,1 would have been in for a rough time. As it was, I felt pretty rotten the second day after the snake bit me."?Charlotte Observer.
